Adaptive Art

This year I am teaching an adaptive art class to students with special needs.  Most of the students are 6-7 years old, but their performance level is well below level. My plan for this year, is to help them work on their fine motor skills. Although it might be challenging for me to create lessons that adapt to their needs, I believe this will be my favorite and most rewarding class this year. The first day of class we  did a crayon rubbing. I glued the crayon rubbing to the front of a composition note book and wrote their name on it. We begin each class by doing a simple drawing in our sketch books such as draw a picture of your self, your favorite animal, a house, etc.
